Born in an era of peace and prosperity, no matter how much military books you read, you still can't understand how tragic a war can be to people's livelihood.
Even if it's just a war in the age of cold weapons!
But in any war, the first to be unlucky is the common people. More than 100,000 troops on both sides gathered in one place, and the amount of grain and grass consumed every day was astronomical. The surrounding people, as long as they don't run away, have to be the people's husbands to transport all kinds of baggage. The fields were left uncultivated, rations were looted, fruit trees were cut down to make carts and equipment. There are tens of thousands of corpses on the front line, and the rear is also facing each other on the road.
Between Song and Liao, the military confrontation between the two sides began at the beginning of the year, coupled with a fierce battle in Baihegou. Within a radius of 100 miles, the villages are dilapidated, and only the dock walls of some wealthy families still remain. As long as the people are not the people's husbands, they will run away from all the people who can run away. This is also the reason why Xiao Yan was able to stumble between the mountains and wilderness for two days without anyone seeing.
The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. There are only a few lifeless, deserted villages that can show that it was still a land of abundance and people.
The longer he walked, the colder Xiao Yan's mood became. What kind of era have you come into? Others want to wear it, some are in the Tang Dynasty, and some are in the Hua Song Dynasty. It's not Chang'an, it's in Bianliang. But he is the most chaotic place in the world at this time, and he wants to wear it somewhere!
Even if the person around him was Yue Fei, it didn't make him feel better.
Where is the place where you can settle down? What do you have to do to survive?
I have to say that Yue Fei and they really take care of themselves. There are two people sandwiching him between him at all times. I don't know if I'm worried about his safety, or if I'm watching and guarding against him.
Their small team, along the road cautiously all the way to the north, was afraid of running into a large group of Liao army remote sentry detectives, these guys are one man and two horses, coming and going like the wind. If you find out, you can't run. As a result, the rear of the Liao army was surprisingly empty, and he didn't see the Liao army sentry agents moving behind him at all. At the end of the day, I just saw a team transporting grain, and the dust rose from afar, and it came slowly, which was enough time for Xiao Yan and Yue Fei to hide 108,000 miles away.
More time, it was a group of five of them who hesitated on this desolate land.
When it was almost nightfall, he settled on the edge of a remote and deserted village. Niu Gao and they dug the stove to find firewood, and went to the village to find out if there were any utensils for boiling water, Xiao Yan wanted to help at first, but Yue Fei always stopped him with a smile. He watched him to death at all times. Xiao Yan himself felt bored later, and when he saw the bonfire coming up, he simply sat down in a daze.
The night was already shrouded, and the starlight was cast through the completely unpolluted atmosphere, reflecting the shadows of the surrounding trees. Except for the sound of dry wood crackling in the fire, there was no trace of anyone around. The deserted villages around him were lifeless, like a fire, some houses had collapsed, and some had exposed roofs, like monsters, crouching in the dark.
Reckless, such as the beginning of the desolation between heaven and earth.
"How much virtue did Lao Tzu have to accumulate in his last life to be able to cross over here............" Xiao Yan hugged his knees and sat next to the bonfire, his heart empty. I don't dare to think about anything deeply, for fear that if I think deeply, I will have to cry again.
Yue Fei squatted beside him and added firewood to the fire, glancing at Xiao Yan from time to time, as if he was also pondering something. I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly turned my head and asked: "Yanei, there is no movement of the Liao army to increase troops along the way, what are these Liao dogs up to?" Now that the Liao army's back road is all presided over by the Chang Shengjun, why don't you even send a sentry sentry? ”
Xiao Yan's body trembled, as if he had been awakened from a dream by Yue Fei's questioning, and turned his head to look at Yue Fei with a sigh. I wondered in my heart, don't you know that the so-called Da Liao is already struggling to survive, the Jurchens are about to fight to Nanjing Dao, and the powerful factions who command the troops everywhere have their own thoughts, including Guo Yaoshi, the commander of the ever-winning army, except for the diehards such as Yelu Dashi, who is really willing to sell their dead power?
“………… Hey, Yue Fei is not one of the commanders of the five major military regions of the Southern Song Dynasty now, and now he is a squad leader, and he can know a fart about the overall situation in the world. ”
This bit of historical knowledge is the only capital to save his life now, but he can't pour beans from a bamboo tube and say everything. Xiao Yan just smiled reluctantly: "...... What are the ministers of Yanjing of the Liao State, who are the generals of the army in various places, and some of these are still known below, the major affairs of the country of soldiers, and the people who break the family under them, where do they know so clearly............"
Yue Fei saw that he was reluctant to speak, and he didn't ask much, just stared at the fire and whispered to himself: "...... It is said that Liaogou is struggling to catch his breath, and an even more powerful Jurchen barbarian has emerged in the north. We can walk this time to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun...... We have a few roads in Hebei, saying that it has been peaceful for more than 100 years, but in fact, in which year on the border, I can't touch the Liao people fighting the grass valley? Adults don't understand that they are confused............ This recruitment, for revenge, for the lack of money and food...... But if you touch Liaogou, you still collapse, if the Jurchen barbarians are more powerful, how will they be born in the future? ”
Xiao Yan just looked at him, slightly moved. This future peerless general, the hard lines of his face were flickering by the firelight, although he was only a young man who had not yet reached the age of crowning, but this worried look seemed to be a peerless national warrior.
Feeling Xiao Yan's gaze at him, Yue Fei turned his head and smiled: "Yanei, I know that you are not in a good mood. Force you to lead the way, and after I go back, I will be greatly compensated. Two hundred and eighty-nine people disappeared overnight, no one is uncomfortable, I am just an old lady, this time I joined the army, and I still hide it from my mother...... Zhang Xian, Wang Guitang, Huai and their brothers, all of whom are native to their hometowns, recognized me as their elder brothers, Niu Manzi's mouth is a little bad, but his heart is not bad, and he pushed his mother to flee from Ruzhou...... I took them to join the army, and I want to bring them back safely, and you are the same in the yamen, so I must keep you safe. ”
When people are down, they hear these few heart-warming words. Xiao Yan's eyes were a little wet again. It's a bit embarrassing to be in front of Grandpa Yue's horse pee, and I'm about to cover it up. Suddenly there were several sounds of breaking the broken bricks and rubbles in the village, and in the silence of the night, it was heard far and wide.
Yue Fei stood up as soon as he reached out, and pulled out the scythe at his waist. Pulled Xiao Yan up behind him, and looked at the dark deserted village. After a while, I saw Niu Gao and their figures walking out of the village quickly, and when they got closer, they saw that several people had ugly faces and unbearable looks.
"Straight lady thief, it's really miserable! Brother, the well in the village is full of human corpses, and you can't look at it like that...... Liao Dog is cruel to his own people! Just a little girl doll alive, we only saw it in the house when we went to find the water and broke the cauldron, like a little mouse, guarding it I don't know if it is the bones of my parents, they are all bones, and I refuse to leave, straight mother thief, teach people to be uncomfortable! ”
After saying a few words, Xiao Yan was just creepy when he stood behind Yue Fei, but Yue Fei paused for a moment and inserted the sickle back into his waist: "Go, take a look!" ”
If they want to go, Xiao Yan naturally can't lie on the edge of the fire. Niu Gao Tang took Xiao Yan in his arms and walked straight to the village. All the way up and down, I don't know what I'm stepping on. Walking to the edge of the well platform in the middle of the village, Yue Fei looked inside and scolded in a low voice: "If we don't block the Liaogou in Xiongzhou this time, we Hebei people will end up like this!" ”
Niu Gao pushed Xiao Yan behind his back with a cold face, and said in a low voice: "Look at the good things you Liao Gou has done!" This time the strength was so great, Xiao Yan rushed straight to the front of the well platform, and closed his eyes after looking at it.
The Great Liao Empire, which once dominated the north, is fully visible in the end of the world. It is no longer possible to maintain even the basic ruling order, and the army can do such a poisonous blow to the people in their own territory!
For looting? For fun?
What kind of troubled times are you in! You thief, what are you going to do if you let Lao Tzu come through!
Yue Fei pulled Xiao Yan and asked in a low voice, "What about the female doll?" Niu Gao didn't speak, he pointed to the broken house next to him, and several people followed Yue Fei and walked inside, Xiao Yan naturally didn't dare to stay next to the well platform, and followed closely.
The dilapidated house has long since lost its roof, and the stars and moonlight are sprinkled unobstructed. I saw an earthen kang at the south end of the house, on which there were vaguely two humanoid things, neatly covered with straw, and the straw gaps revealed the color of Sensen's white bones. In the corner of the kang, a swarthy figure squatted, huddled there trembling.
"It's this female doll, when she sees us coming, she is scared like something............"
Hearing the voice, the little girl slowly opened her eyes. A pair of eyes are clear and bright, as if with the halo of stars, can always look into people's hearts. The clarity is something that Xiao Yan has never seen before!
Seeing a few of them standing there, the little girl quickly closed her eyes and bowed her head. She seemed to be trying her best to control herself, but she still couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Yue Fei sighed low and whispered to Niu Gao. Niu Gao was also refreshed, and ripped off all the bags of dry food tied to his waist. Yue Fei took it but handed it to Xiao Yan: "Yanei, let's talk, I'm afraid this female doll won't understand." You better send it over, tell him, we are just spending the night around here, and we will never hurt her. ”
My Mandarin, this girl can understand it? Xiao Yan smiled bitterly in his heart. I only took the bag of dry food and slowly leaned over. The closer he got in, the more the girl trembled. Xiao Yan's height of one hundred and seventy-eight centimeters is definitely seven feet tall in this year, taller than everyone present.
Seeing that people were afraid of this, he wiped his dirty face and simply said in Mandarin: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my brother is not a bad person............ It's for you, to eat............ Is it your father and mother on the kang? You can't just leave it here, people die, and they have to be buried in the ground. You can't just stay here, you have relatives to join your relatives, and you have friends to rely on your friends......"
The girl just buried her head in her knees and didn't say a word. Niu Gao still snorted coldly behind: "It's not the sins of you Liao dogs!" ”
Yue Fei said in a low voice: "Niu Man, shut up!" Xiao Yanei is a man with lofty ideals for his homeland, which is different from those Liao dogs...... His family also died at the hands of Liao Dog! ”
Niu Gao still didn't give up: "At this time, I remembered my homeland, what did I do in the first place?" It's not all average! Who knows how this thief bird will appear here, and who knows what he has planned! ”
You think Lao Tzu wants to come here!
The longer you stay in this era, the more reality you face, and the less unrealistic you feel. It's better to be confused, but once you wake up, you have to face your worst situation!
Xiao Yan has been cautious, and at this time, the fire can't help but rise. He held back his anger and carefully placed the bag of dry food next to the girl, and stood up and turned his head violently. saw Niu Gao Wang Gui and a few of them, just holding his arms and looking at him coldly, and Yue Fei also turned his head slightly. The nameless fire in my heart suddenly stopped.
This is Yue Fei's era, this is the grievances of their family and country, they are just a traveler, and they don't know if they can see the sun tomorrow............ All you have to do is survive! And them, what is there to fight about?
“………… I have to put this girl's parents in the ground............" Subconsciously, he muttered to himself casually. I really can't find anything to say.
Wang Gui, who was the shortest and stockiest in it, shook his head: "I can't control it......"
Niu Gao turned around and left: "If you want to dig the pit yourself, you Liao dogs can't rely on us to help!" ”
At this moment, Xiao Yan felt a sound behind him, and when he looked back, it was the girl who had been shrinking in the corner of the room standing up. Walked up to him with bags of dry food in both hands. Squatting there and not noticing, I could only see that this girl had a pair of beautiful eyes as bright as a morning star. Although he was still unkempt and his face was full of dust, he couldn't hide his slender figure with a torn jacket, and he didn't look so small as he looked, at least it was a figure that Xiao Yan could only develop as a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in his time.
The girl held the bag of dry food and saluted Xiao Yan. Then he handed back the bag of dry food with both hands. Xiao Yan jumped up as if he had been pricked by a needle, and shook his hands: "For you!" For you! ”
The girl's star-like soft eyes looked at Xiao Yan's face, lowered her head deeply, put the bag of dry food at Xiao Yan's feet, retreated to the edge of the kang, and squatted down in the corner.
Xiao Yan immediately understood that this girl, all the familiar qiē had suddenly been lost, and she had given up all the hopes of the qiē.
Isn't all the qiē you are familiar with gone? Even the era in which we live has changed for thousands of years!
Lao Tzu just wants to live well, and the girls in this deserted village must be the same. This thief, thief!
He turned his head to look at Yue Fei's thoughtful gaze, and felt even more unbearable. I am not a Liao person, and I am not a Yanei. Be a citizen of the People's Republic of China! I don't want to get involved in this troubled world at all, I don't want to do it at all!
After being silent for a long time, Yue Fei forced a smile: "Yanai ............"
Xiao Yan didn't speak, turned around with a straight face, and walked towards the soil kang, the girl raised her head, her clear and bright eyes looked at Xiao Yan in horror, but Xiao Yan started to pull those straws, the girl was busy standing up and was about to pounce to block it, Xiao Yan turned her face to look at her, gritted her teeth and said loudly: "I'm here to help your parents enter the ground, the world is so big, don't stay here, go wherever you want, survive well!" It's the same with Lao Tzu! ”
